Lower Ditchford is a medieval settlement in Gloucestershire, England, located in the parish of Fladbury. The site comprises the remains of a nucleated village settlement that developed during the medieval period, with archaeological and documentary evidence indicating occupation from at least the twelfth century onwards. The settlement is represented by earthwork features including house platforms, field systems, and trackways that survive as landscape features, which provide evidence of the layout and agricultural organisation of the medieval community. The site was eventually abandoned or contracted, as with many English medieval villages, and the earthworks now form an important archaeological record of medieval rural settlement patterns and land use.
